Overview
Angular, developed by Google, is a full-fledged framework for building dynamic web applications. Unlike libraries such as React, Angular provides everything a developer needs right out of the box, including two-way data binding, dependency injection, and a powerful templating system. Angular follows an MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture, allowing for clean separation of concerns. Angular is particularly favored for building enterprise-level applications due to its robustness and ability to handle complex applications with many moving parts. Its dependency injection and services architecture make it ideal for large-scale applications.
Key Features:
- Two-Way Data Binding: Automatic synchronization between the model and the view simplifies data management in complex applications.
- Dependency Injection: Angular’s DI system makes it easier to manage dependencies and inject services into components.
- RxJS and Observables: Built-in support for asynchronous operations using observables, making it easier to handle complex async scenarios.
- CLI Support: Angular provides a Command Line Interface (CLI) for automating workflows and scaffolding projects.
- TypeScript-Based: Built on TypeScript, which helps in catching errors early and improving maintainability.
Use Cases:
- Large enterprise applications
- Real-time applications with dynamic data
- Single-page applications with complex structures
